Flaming Flamingo!

Ishbel is off the needles, blocked and worn!

Knitted with Sundara fingering silky merino in Flaming Flamingo. I loved working with this yarn and the colour is so cheerful. I think there is enough left to make the hat.

I did wonder about making the shawl bigger but decided against it, for some reason I wasn't enjoying the lace part of this pattern and couldn't get into the flow.

Here's what else is on the needles:

Kate is beginning to look as if the end is in sight

and my mitred project is at the plain and boring stocking stitch section

I've received the details of my Rowan Exchange Victim for this year, have the yarn all set to go , now all I need to do is find a pattern I like.

Plenty of knitting time today as I'm off to Birmingham for a conference tomorrow.... is 3 projects enough for one night away from home?

Impromptu knit night will be in the Briar Rose from 6pm tonight

I love the shawl! I think I am going to make that for my exchange gift. It looks like you are being very industrious!

oooh lovely knitting - the shawl is divine especially in that stunning pink, and the mitred knit is going to be amazing
